Is there some way to make a table have alternating colors for rows when
you're generating the table data with a WHILE statement?
You know, row 1 has a gray BG, row 2 is white, row 3 is gray, 4 is white,
etc, for as long as there's data.
Here's what I'm using right now:
$query_RSwho = "SELECT * FROM tbl_indv ORDER BY name ASC";
$RSwho = @mysql_query($q uery_RSwho, $connection) or die("Couldn't query: "
.. mysql_error());
while ($row_RSwho = mysql_fetch_arr ay($RSwho)) {
if ($row_RSwho['name'] != "X") {
$names .= "<tr align=left><td
width=120>".$ro w_RSwho['name']."</td><td
align=left>&nbs p;-- ".$row_RS who ['email']."</td></tr>";
}
}
So, in that WHILE section, is there a way to alternate bgcolor table cell
tags?
If there's a web site, or something, just point me? =)
Thanks!

I'd do it something like this:
$i = 1;
while ($row_RSwho = mysql_fetch_arr ay($RSwho)) {
if ($row_RSwho['name'] != "X") {
$bgcolour = ($i%2) ? 'bgcolor=\'whit e\'' : 'bgcolor=\'grey \'';
++$i;
$names .= "<tr align=left " . $bgcolour . "><td
width=120>".$ro w_RSwho['name']."</td><td
align=left>&nbs p;-- ".$row_RS who['email']."</td></tr>";
}
}

Try this:
<?php
$i = 0;
$j = 20;
while (--$j) {
$i = 1 - $i; // 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, ...
echo 'class="', ($i)?('odd'):(' even'), '"', "\n";
}
?>
Adapt to your liking.

The above is how I would have done it, except that I would use CSS & a
class to set the background so I can change it later to suit without
having to fiddle with the PHP - one day I might want alternate pale
green & pale pink - you never know!

I personally don't like counters. I use something like this:
//At top of file
$bgcolor1 = '#FF0000';
$bgcolor2 = '#00FF00';
//where you want your table to go
$bgcolor='';
while ($foo = mysql_fetch_arr ay($result)) {
$bgcolor = ($bgcolor == $bgcolor1) ? $bgcolor2: $bgcolor1;
echo '<tr><td bgcolor="'.$bgc olor.'">stuff</td></tr>';
}
Or use a CSS class using the same method. I find the code is tidier than using
a counter. I imagine it's slower than a counter because it has to compare
strings every loop. But unless you have gigantic tables you probably won't
notice a difference.
Regards,
Shawn

Well, that's a good idea! But...how do you do that in a CSS?
Oh! Instead of 'bgcolor=\'a_co lor\' use the class tag in that where/if?

Class *attribute*. Yep, change "bgcolor='white '" to "class='odd '" and
"bgcolor='grey' " to "class='eve n'". Then in your stylesheet set
tr.odd {background-color: white;}
tr.even {background-color: grey;}
One advantage is that you can do other things than just changing colors.
If you wanted to, you could make odd and even rows have different heights,
for example.

Set an array of two values on indexes 0 and 1.
Start iterating over the query rows with a counter that steps by 1.
Use a modulus 2 operation to select from the array.
$colors = array('red', 'blue');
$i = 0;
while(have-some-rows)
{
print $colors[$i % 2];
$i ++;
}

Is there a way to alternate table row colors without using the

One of the standard CSS questions is "how can I shade every other table row
a different color with CSS?"
The answers are usually 1) you can't (yet), 2) put a class on every other
tr, or 3) use javascript to do the styling for you.
Well, I've been playing the CSS expressions quite a bit lately and I've
found a much simpler solution which works in IE5.5+, using "expressions". If

Any ideas? I'm using C#.
